SUMMARY:R.U.R. 2020
DESCRIPTION:In the near future\, a young scientist responsible for a world-changing medical breakthrough uncovers a corporate conspiracy that could spell the end of one species – and the rise of another. A reimagination of Karel Capek’s classic sci-fi thriller\, performed in a real-life laboratory. \n“I have seen a new generation of man being stitched together like so many patchwork quilts in an unending line. They will make Einsteins for pennies and dimes; Napoleons by the bundle; and new creatures that have no parallel on the Earth.” \nAlmost a century has passed since Czech playwright Karel Capek wrote Rossum’s Universal Robots\, a provocative sci-fi satire depicting the creation and inevitable rebellion of a race of artificial humans – the first ‘robots’. \nToday we are surrounded by real life robots\, and fears of human redundancy abound. Meanwhile\, in our hospitals and in our bodies\, incredible new technologies promise miracle cures that blur the boundary between the natural and the artificial. \nHosted live in the labs of BioFab3D\, one of Australia’s top medical research facilities\, RUR 2020 reimagines Capek’s controversial classic for the new century. The first robots will be flesh and blood. \nProduced by BioFab3D and PlayReactive. \nPost-show forums on Thursday 9 and 16 August.

SUMMARY:Art of Science Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute’s annual Art of Science exhibition showcases stunning images and videos captured by Australian medical researchers tackling some of the biggest challenges facing global health. \nTaking place during National Science Week\, the Art of Science exhibition runs from 10 – 19 August 2018 at Melbourne’s Federation Square. The experience shines a light on biomedical exploration and discovery traversing the vast and complex research areas of cancer\, infectious diseases and immune disorders. \nSee how blood vessels sprout from a piece of bone grown in the laboratory; watch breast cancer cells ‘caught on camera’ as they attempt to run riot in other parts of the body; and be unsettled by a writhing parasite ‘playground’ captured under the microscope with an iPhone. \nDirector of the Institute\, Professor Doug Hilton said Art of Science was like a ‘backstage pass’ into the laboratory revealing how medical researchers worked to better understand\, prevent and treat disease. \n“The images and videos in our Art of Science exhibition provide magnificent insight into the challenges our biomedical researchers are working to address – whether that’s stopping aggressive cancers from spreading in the body; finding ways to outsmart the malaria mosquito; or pinpointing what is going awry in development where birth defects such as spina bifida and cleft palate occur\,” Professor Hilton said. \nProfessor Hilton said the exhibition offered a unique opportunity for the public to grasp how rapid advances in medical imaging technology were enabling researchers to visualise the unseeable in impressive detail. \n“Visitors to the exhibition get the chance to see what blood vessels look like when they migrate to form conduits that transport food\, oxygen and germ-fighting immune cells throughout the body. \n“They’ll also see a life-size snapshot of breast tissue\, resembling blossoms at the end of a stem\, that in reality is no bigger than a few grains of rice\,” Professor Hilton said. \nInstitute staff and scientists will be in The Atrium at Federation Square between 10am-6pm throughout the exhibition period\, to show visitors around and answer their questions. \nA time-honoured competition \nThe Art of Science exhibition is also a showcase of 20 finalists from the Institute’s annual Art of Science competition\, which was founded in 1997 by former Institute director Professor Suzanne Cory. \nThis year\, our esteemed panel of judges is from Museums Victoria and includes CEO Lynley Marshall; Senior Curator for Human Biology and Medicine Johanna Simkin; and Collections Curator for Engineering Matilda Vaughan. \n“My selection was made on the basis of artistic appeal\, representation of subject matter and the degree to which the image engaged me with the subject\,” Ms Marshall said. \nThe public also get to have their say. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to vote for their favourite image in the ever popular People’s Choice Awards for the chance to win a framed print of their choice.

SUMMARY:Eggs Alive!
DESCRIPTION:Kangaroo Flat Library (Goldfields Libraries) is excited to announce that for National Science Week from the 13 – 21 August we are presenting “Eggs Alive!” Goldfields Libraries is a successful SEED grant winner and would like to share this whole experiment with the community. \nWith the money from the SEED grant\, Kangaroo Flat Library was able to purchase an incubator and brooder. The “Eggs Alive!” project will hatch fertilised chicken eggs in a see-through incubator at Kangaroo Flat Library during National Science Week. \nThe newly hatched chicks will then be kept in a brooder under a heat lamp in the Library for just over a week\, allowing the public to learn about the scientific aspects of the life cycle of chickens by observing\, discussing and supervised holding of the chicks during opening hours. \nThe actual hatching will be filmed in time-lapse\, which will then be shown on a loop near the chicks during this time\, allowing people to see the hatching occurring if they missed it. \nOn Wednesday 15 August at 2pm we have a guest speaker from the Bendigo Poultry Club\, Graeme Smith. Graeme is a poultry breeder of more than 48 years and is an “All Breeds” poultry judge for chicken exhibitions. Graeme will bring in a couple of adult birds for everyone to have a look at during his chat. He will discuss “showing birds”\, rare breeds and how old breeds are being re-established through genetics and science\, and general care and wellbeing of poultry. Any queries or questions by the public are welcomed at this informal session. \nWe hope with this experiment the community will learn more about poultry and the different sciences that are involved with hatching eggs such as biology (the life cycle of a chicken)\, climate (setting the temperature and incubator humidity) and Ecology and Agriculture (the benefits of eggs and meat and reduction in kitchen waste). \nStorytimes during National Science Week will have a special chicken-inspired theme and people can also browse our poultry-themed library items on display. Kangaroo Flat Library staff can also provide feedback on the whole egg incubation process to people who might be interested in trying to hatch eggs themselves!

SUMMARY:Girls in Physics Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:At the breakfast students from Years 10 to 12 will share a table with two or three young women who are either in the early stages of a career in physics or engineering\, or are at university as an undergraduate or a postgraduate. The students have a chance to ask questions about their careers and what study at university is like. Students will be seated with students from other schools. \nThere is also an address by a prominent scientist\, who will talk about her area of interest at a level appropriate for the audience. The speaker is Dr Ceri Brenner\, the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) Women in Physics lecturer for 2018. Dr Brenner is speaking as part of her national tour. Her topic is ‘Pressing FIRE on the most powerful laser in the world’. \nDr Brenner is a physicist with UK Research and Innovisation.  She uses the most powerful lasers in the world to develop innovative imaging technology for medical\, nuclear and aerospace inspection. She has a unique role that spans research\, innovation and business development and is driving the translation of laser-driven accelerator research into industrial applications that impact our society. Her website has information about her research and her outreach activities. \nAbstract: When we press FIRE on the most powerful laser in the world\, we deliver a packet of light that is a thousand billion billion times more intense than the sunlight you feel at the beach! That’s super intense! But what makes these lasers really super is that we’re using them to turn research into real applications that will improve our future. From igniting a miniature star on earth to keeping our power stations working for thousands of years with clean fuel\, to designing micro accelerator beams for detecting and zapping away cancer or even taking a snapshot photo of a jet engine at full speed! \nAs an optional add on to the breakfast\, at no extra cost\, there is a 90 minute tour of the nearby Australian Synchrotron as well as activities on Careers in STEM. There is a limit of 6 students per school to maximise the number of schools that can participate. \nThis event is supported by ANSTO\, Vicphysics Teachers’ Network\, the Victorian Branch of the Australian Institute of Physics\, FLEET (Future Low Energy Electronic Technologies) and the Federal Government’s Inspiring Australia – Inspiring Science program.

SUMMARY:Yaapeet's Native Plants - Changes Over 30 Years
DESCRIPTION:How well do you know the native plants in your local Nature Reserve? \nGet to know Yaapeet’s native plants – on the Nature Reserve on the east of the town/school boundary from an historic collection (made in 1988) and a walk/survey to be made today. \nFor National Science Week\, Yaapeet PS is bringing back Rod Newnham its local expert\, botanist\, former park ranger and YPS parent (who made the original collection)\, from 30 years ago to inform and inspire us to notice and know our local native plants. \nWe have recently rediscovered the well-preserved plant collection made by the school with Rod in 1988 and will to use them to see changes since then. \nThe morning will be spent with the school children preparing with Rod for the afternoon\, when the community will be invited to come on a guided walk into our Nature Reserve (beside the school) and see what is there and discover what may have changed. \nIf you can’t be there\, we plan to prepare a display from these two samplings (1988\, 2018) for the school centenary in October. \nThe Royal Botanic Gardens is interested in this 1988 collection – if we can identify the species of each plant sample. For this we need Rod’s help\, and to direct any preparation needed for their final resting place.
